The Great Wildebeest Migration of grazers in the region is mainly a result of the sole factor of the presence of grass to graze on.

This therefore this influences the circular movement of mammals in which they move toward the much greener areas with more pastures to graze on.

Between July to October, the white beard wildebeest and the rest of the gravers are normally in the northern Serengeti Plains that offers a great opportunity to see over two million mammals crossing the Mara River that is regarded as the death-defying River a dramatic act that is considered by many tourists as the best time to see the migration.

Between December to March, the grazers are usually in the southern part of the Serengeti with the mammals concentrating mainly at the Ndutu area.

Between this time is when there is calving. It is the best time to see the grazers congregating on the sweeping plains in the south in large numbers since it is the calving season.

However, during the rest of the year that is during November, April, May, and June, the time is referred to as the transition time and the movement occurs between places.
